Mindig észben kell tartanunk az emberiség legfontosabb vezérfonalát: LÉGY UDVARIAS. Az UDVARIASSÁG valószínűleg a legtöbb, amivel minden egyes nap hozzájárulhatunk a földi élethez.
Men and women alike have convinced themselves of a dragging belief: that somehow women are incomplete without having children.
It's the silliness--the profligacy, and the silliness--that's so dizzying: a seven-year-old will run downstairs, kiss you hard, and then run back upstairs again, all in less than 30 seconds. It's as u...
It seems that being a woman is very expensive and time-consuming. My innocence about this is incongruous, given my age, but total. I come from grunge, and then Britpop--scenes where you boast about ho...
In a world where you can get a spare kidney, a black-market Picasso or a ticket to ride into space, why can’t I see some actual sex? Some actual fucking from people who want to fuck each other? Some c...
I'm not going to be worshipped by some powerful, loaded, sword-wielding man who will change my life if I marry him. Because that is Aragorn, son of Arathorn, and he doesn't exist.
I find rap, dance, and hip-hop vaguely terrifying. I don’t have the right clothes to be into them, and it all seems a bit intense. I file these genres along with heavy metal and speed metal under peop...
I don't understand, then, why, in the midst of all this, pregnant women - women trying to make rational decisions about their futures and, usually, that of their families, too - should be subject to m...
Heaven. The biggest waste of our time we ever invented, outside jigsaws.
Hay una generación entera que confunde con .
For when cynicism becomes the default language, playfulness and invention become impossible. Cynicism scours through a culture like bleach, wiping out millions of small, seedling ideas. Cynicism means...
Feminism has had exactly the same problem that political correctness has had: people keep using the phrase without really knowing what it means.
Dorothy Parker, Sylvia Plath, Bessie Smith, Janis Joplin -- I can't help but note that most of the women who hold their own with the men seem unhappy and apt to die young. Lazy, popular opinion has it...
Cada libro, cada teatro de ópera, cada lanzamiento espacial a la luna y cada manifiesto existen porque alguien, en algun lugar, prendió el silencio al ver entrar a otra persona y la habitación y luego...
But the problem with battling yourself is that even if you win, you lose.
In the 21st century, wedon’t need to march against size zero models, risible pornography,lap-dancing clubs and Botox. We don’t need to riot, or go on hungerstrike. There’s no need to throw ourselves u...
As it turned out, almost every notion I had on my 13th birthday about my future turned out to be a total waste of my time. When I thought of myself as an adult, all I could imagine was someone thin, a...
What you are, as a teenager, is a small, silver, empty rocket. And you use loud music as fuel, and then the information in books as maps and coordinates,
Just go around being alive, and pointing at things. We’re just, simply, in the world. It had never occurred to me what a wonderful thing this was.
Intolerable, because then I imagine you having sex and that, inevitably, makes me want to kill myself, and everyone in this family. And everyone I’ve ever met. And God. I don
